[Shot type: medium. Lighting: natural] Art style: photorealistic cinematic live-action, professional cinema camera, always-moving camera, shallow depth of field, filmic contrast, no found footage, no phone, no animation, no cartoon. Cinematic film still, shallow depth of field. DANIEL COLE sits in window seat 23A of an airliner, wearing a PLAIN WHITE RIBBED COTTON TANK TOP that leaves his muscular shoulders and arms bare, dark indigo jeans. He lowers an open worn paperback from his face, his eyes lifting toward the window. Exactly one clear plastic glass of water sits on his tray table with the water tilted to one side. Soft natural window daylight rakes his face from the left, cabin soft behind him. Photoreal, real skin texture, dark stubble. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image entirely in "photorealistic cinematic live-action, professional cinema camera, always-moving camera, shallow depth of field, filmic contrast, no found footage, no phone, no animation, no cartoon" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "photorealistic cinematic live-action, professional cinema camera, always-moving camera, shallow depth of field, filmic contrast, no found footage, no phone, no animation, no cartoon". Keep the subject, composition, camera angle, lighting direction, and colour palette from the description above — but EVERY surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in the "photorealistic cinematic live-action, professional cinema camera, always-moving camera, shallow depth of field, filmic contrast, no found footage, no phone, no animation, no cartoon" idiom, not in any other medium. Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - DANIEL COLE: He wears a PLAIN WHITE RIBBED COTTON TANK TOP throughout the film — a sleeveless A-shirt that leaves his shoulders, full arms and armpits bare, the white cotton fitted tight across his chest and stomach. He wears dark indigo jeans and brown leather boots, with a steel wristwatch on his left wrist, and carries a worn paperback book. Rugged, brutally handsome American man of thirty-four: broad shoulders, thick chest and defined bare arms, a strong square jaw, an even layer of dark stubble across the jaw, chin and upper lip, short dark brown hair, dark brows, straight nose, intense clear eyes. Real skin texture with visible pores and a faint sheen of sweat, lit unevenly from one side, never a clean studio face. Calm, unreadable, eyes that keep measuring the room. Silhouette tag: white ribbed tank top, bare muscular arms, dark jeans, dark stubble.
